BIOL 3090 Foundations of Microbiology
In this course we examine the diversity in the microbial world that exists between bacteria, archaea, eukarya, and viruses. We will explore the unique molecular biology, metabolism, and ecological diversity that exists within the three domains of life and, ultimately, discuss how various aspects and members of the microbial world intersect with humanity and human health.
